Also in search of his 20th singles title at the ATP level, Sinner steamrolled his way through the competition at Roland Garros over the last two weeks, beating each opponent in straight sets. Sinner cruised through Arthur Rinderknech, Richard Gasquet, Jiri Lehecka, Andrey Rublev, Alexander Bublik and finally, Novak Djokovic.

Alcaraz beat Sinner in last year’s semifinals at Roland-Garros, and is 7-4 all-time against the Italian. The 2023 U.S. Open champion is 2-1 against Sinner in major tournaments, having also been victorious in the quarterfinals of the 2022 U.S. Open.
